Game Updates
The Cleveland Guardians' bullpen locked down a gritty 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night, silencing a late White Sox push with four scoreless innings to close out the game. Joey Cantillo set the tone early, battling through 5.₂ frames while allowing just one run despite four hits and three walks, but it was the relief corps that stole the show. Erik Sabrowski and Cade Smith combined for two perfect innings in the seventh and eighth, while closer Nic Enright and Hunter Gaddis navigated high-leverage situations with precision—Enright striking out two in his brief but critical appearance.
Offensively, Cleveland's opportunistic approach made the difference. CJ Kayfus delivered the biggest blow with a solo homer—his only hit in three at-bats—while Kyle Manzardo's RBI single in the fourth proved decisive. The White Sox, held to just four hits all night, got their lone run from Michael A. Taylor's solo shot in the sixth, but their bats fell silent against Cleveland's late-inning arms. For the Guardians, the win keeps their postseason hopes alive, while the White Sox's struggles continue as their lineup fails to capitalize on scoring chances.
